According to former police officer and animal lover Laura Motes,
there are many simple ways that everyday people can assist with animal welfare and rescue issues. She knows that you don't have to give a ton
of money to a shelter to make a difference. The little things add up to
make a big impact.
Most of Laura's tips involve community
involvement and education, like scheduling a local animal rescue speaker
to meet with and talk to your local church or business group. She has
also found that by placing a small donation cup on her desk or in the
break room of her office, she receives small donations that add up
quickly. She then takes that money to the local rescue leagues in her
area. For people who have extra time during the week and love to be with
animals, she recommends volunteering at the animal shelter. Volunteers
can walk dogs, play with the animals, give baths, or give guests tours
of the facility. She really enjoys the opportunity to show citizens
around the shelter, and hopefully witness them finding their new puppy
or kitten.
Laura Motes says that Georgia residents who work in a corporate or business office have a big opportunity to provide animal welfare aid through fund raising. These citizens can coordinate bake sales or community garage sales to raise money for the local shelters. They can also post fliers around their place of business or local community hotspots that promote local shelter issues.
